[Shane]

Hi, welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.

[Amanda Leehan]

Hi, I'm Amanda Leehan. Canto Full full title. And here's Spencer, our favorite guy.

[Shane]

Whoa, whoa.

[Spencer]

Favorite guy.

[Shane]

That's.

[Amanda Leehan]

I'm changing it up. I'm changing up my intro. You are.

[Shane]

You are changing it up.

[Spencer]

What do you usually say, special guest?

[Shane]

We were saying that for, like.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, lame.

[Shane]

100 episodes.

[Amanda Leehan]

I know.

[Spencer]

What episode number is this?

[Shane]

100? Is it 103?

[Amanda Leehan]

Wait, we're not on 100 yet.

[Shane]

We're not at 100 yet.

[Amanda Leehan]

Remember?

[Shane]

I completely forgot.

[Amanda Leehan]

We have something special plan.

[Shane]

Completely forgot. Someone did point out. Someone did point out. We are now past the amount of episodes we had on the original Smosh cast.

[Spencer]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

That.

[Spencer]

They never had me on.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jesus.

[Spencer]

They never had me on.

[Shane]

You never on.

[Spencer]

They never had me on.

[Amanda Leehan]

Well, I didn't work here, so you can't blame me.

[Shane]

They were.

[Spencer]

They were pulling anyone onto that show except for me. They were like, oh, that guy that walked by the office one time, get him in here.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, no.

[Spencer]

They were afraid of what I might say.

[Amanda Leehan]

Whoa. And look at us. We brought you on so much. And you said really fun things on here.

[Shane]

We're fearless on Smoshmouth. That's what people say. The most fearless podcast that exists.

[Amanda Leehan]

We are.

[Spencer]

This was. This was fact checked by real American Patriots.

[Amanda Leehan]

Gross.

[Shane]

We'll say anything on this show. Okay.

[Amanda Leehan]

You wanted to discuss something, Shane, before we get.

[Shane]

We're going to talk about movies today.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, we are.

[Shane]

Because I've been laughing my ass off at letterboxd reviews, and I. I pulled a bunch.

[Amanda Leehan]

Lol, man.

[Shane]

But there's a serious discussion happening. By the time this episode airs, it'll probably. The discussion will be past its prime, but I feel like we need to address it because of a lot of things, you know, particularly. Look, you got the portrait right behind you. So Gorillaz are back online right now.

[Spencer]

Gorillas are back.

[Shane]

Gorillas are back.

[Spencer]

Have you ever seen Congo?

[Shane]

Yeah, haven't I? There's a very serious. There's a very serious debate happening right now. And before I Give you any context, going to have you answer, who would win in a fight? 100 men versus one silverback gorilla.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, yeah. Oh, God, this is happening.

[Spencer]

Oh, God, this is happening.

[Shane]

This is happening for real men.

[Amanda Leehan]

Just coming back. I'm strong.

[Shane]

This is 100 random men. We don't get to pick the men.

[Spencer]

And there's no weapons.

[Shane]

There's no weapons. Bear bare hands.

[Amanda Leehan]

One hundred percent. A silverback gorilla versus a hundred men. Yes.

[Spencer]

Fuck those guys.

[Amanda Leehan]

A hundred men. I'm pissed that men are even coming together and being like, hey, what do you guys think? Right, Spencer?

[Spencer]

That was what I thought at first. That was my initial thought.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, don't.

[Spencer]

I have been cooking on this for like a week.

[Shane]

Yeah. Every man. This is what it's been like.

[Amanda Leehan]

Realistically.

[Spencer]

It's been. Realistically. It's only been a couple days since this discussion fully emerged. But because I've been thinking about strategies, I've been thinking about how we would do it.

[Amanda Leehan]

I don't like this.

[Spencer]

Yeah, no, I. And that's. I think the ultimate thing is I think this is. This is something that a lot of men, I think, enjoy thinking about just.

[Shane]

The sheer military strategy.

[Amanda Leehan]

What's your strategy?

[Spencer]

I just, I don't want to get too, like, graphic with it, but like, essentially you have to suffocate him.

[Shane]

That's, that's, that is.

[Spencer]

That's the only. But it's like, it's pure numbers and like, like you, like you would lose many men. Like, it would not be.

[Amanda Leehan]

Do you know who you're speaking to? Someone who will defend her life for these silverback gorillas.

[Shane]

Nobody's going to be happy.

[Spencer]

I know. So that's the other thing I always want to, like, preface this conversation with, like, is this would be awful. This would be like, this would be a tragedy for all involved. And I never want this to happen.

[Shane]

I'm just saying I hope this situation does not occur.

[Amanda Leehan]

Why are men randomly now bringing this up?

[Shane]

I think it's a discussion a lot.

[Spencer]

Of, like, I think it's a discussion we need to have.

[Shane]

I think it's a discussion we need to have. Why I brought up this all the time of, like, if you put me in the octagon with any wild animal, I'm losing. I don't think I'm. There's not many animals, but I think people often overestimate what a person could do. Now, 100 men. The problem is that has been brought up is that gorillas, while so strong, so strong, their endurance is not infinite. So, you know, they're gonna get tired out from killing men.

[Amanda Leehan]

Have you guys seen Gladiator? You have to work together. So are these hundred men meeting. Are you guys having meetings?

[Shane]

We all just get dropped in and there's no pre planning.

[Spencer]

It's like the Batman thing. It's like. It's like, oh, could Batman beat him? It's like, with prep time.

[Shane]

Yes, with prep time, Batman could beat him, but. And technically Batman, one of Batman's villains is a gorilla. That's really smart.

[Spencer]

So there's the theory that it's like Batman could be. Not even a theory. I would say it's the truth. It's like Batman could beat anybody if given prep time.

[Amanda Leehan]

Which Batman? Christian Bale, Literally anybody. Ben Affleck.

[Spencer]

Yes.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

You think Ben Affleck.

[Shane]

Actually, Ben Affleck's Batman is kind of op.

[Spencer]

I won't lie to you. The only Batman Ben Affleck piece of film I've seen was his brief appearance in Suicide Squad.

[Amanda Leehan]

Got it.

[Spencer]

I haven't seen the full unaliving squad.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, very good.

[Shane]

But. Okay, that's a different discussion, the Batman discussion. But I do agree. I think that the gorilla would get tired out. I do think you just have to dogpile him on top.

[Spencer]

It'd be like in the second Matrix movie, you know, when all the Agent Smiths jump on. Yeah, that's exactly.

[Shane]

I love that part.

[Amanda Leehan]

And then.

[Spencer]

And then he goes, boom.

[Shane]

Neo did win that fight. I think that would happen the first. The first time we dogpile him, the gorilla is going to do that, and we're all going to go flying. We all have to then regroup, and.

[Spencer]

Then we go slide back.

[Shane]

We'd be like, more. Yeah, I do think. I do think we're going to lose. The question is, how many men are you going to. I think it's a lot.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, I don't think you guys are going to succeed.

[Shane]

My favorite discussion topic has been like, hey, we might win, but what that gorilla is going to do to the first guy, we're going to know about. We're going to hear about that for centuries.

[Amanda Leehan]

The first guy's going to go. He's going to look around and go. And the girl is going to go. And he's going to go.

[Shane]

That's his crumbled body. That's my fear. Is this.

[Spencer]

The.

[Shane]

The psychological aspect is the problem? Because you need to hope that in the hundred guys that you have, like five to 10 guys who are so egotistical that they're going to go. They're going to charge and start this. Because if we hesitate and that gorilla gets a chance to take people one on one, we're going to lose a lot more guys.

[Amanda Leehan]

I'm telling you. I think it's going to be more than five to 10 egotistical guys. I think it's going to be 50 guys who are like, I am going to take.

[Shane]

I think our chances are much better because we got to get on top of him. You got to just put weight.

[Spencer]

I want to. I want to emphasize again, I want no part of this, that this actually happened.

[Shane]

I hope this never happens.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, I don't like this.

[Shane]

But let people have been. People have been making the joke of, like, if Mr. Beast hears about this.

[Spencer]

Well, he already said something about it.

[Shane]

Oh, God.

[Amanda Leehan]

He say.

[Spencer]

He's like. He's like, let me work on this.

[Shane]

No, don't let him cook.

[Amanda Leehan]

Don't let him cook at all.

[Spencer]

Honestly, you throw Mr. Beast in.

[Amanda Leehan]

Here's the thing. I think if you guys were thrown into, like, a coliseum with a silverback gorilla, I would hope that you wouldn't. I would hope that it would be, like, against your will. I don't know why that makes me feel better.

[Shane]

The context of this is it's not like 100 guys signed up for this. It's like, what would happen if 100 guys and a gorilla were in the same room and they could only leave once one of them was dead?

[Spencer]

I think. Here's the. Here's the thing. I think you could easily get 100 guys to sign up for this.

[Amanda Leehan]

I kind of agree. Actually, I went backwards. I'm like, wait a second. No, this is actually probably could be a thing.

[Spencer]

I don't want it to happen yet.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

So neither of you guys have seen Congo?

[Shane]

I don't know what Congo.

[Spencer]

So it's the. It's. It's the movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Old school movie.

[Spencer]

It's like a 90s movie where they. They go into the Congo and there's like, the. The evil gorillas.

[Shane]

Oh, I don't think I know this.

[Amanda Leehan]

Maybe I have. Who's in it?

[Spencer]

See, that's Ernie Hudson.

[Amanda Leehan]

Should I let her box review it?

[Spencer]

Tim Curry's in it.

[Amanda Leehan]

What is he doing in it?

[Shane]

It does break my heart. The discussion breaks my heart. Because gorillas, I think, are very silly.

[Spencer]

Oh, they're silly.

[Shane]

And, like, truthfully, gorillas aren't, like, vicious animals. Now. Chimpanzees. Chimpanzees. Nightmare fuel. I did see someone bring up the debate of, like, okay, your entire friend group versus a chimpanzee. I'M like, you're losing that.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

You need way more than 10 guys.

[Spencer]

I would run.

[Shane]

Yeah. I would trip someone else and then run.

[Amanda Leehan]

Okay. Find yourself someone that looks at you the way Dr. Peter Elliot looks at Amy, the talking gorilla.

[Spencer]

Amy was the talking gorilla.

[Amanda Leehan]

One of the reviews from Congo. Ernie Hudson jumps out of a plane while hugging a talking gorilla.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

So I gotta see this movie.

[Spencer]

Amy is the talking gorilla, and they bring her to the Congo rainforest. Like an expedition goes missing in the Congo. It's based on a Michael Crichton book. It's. It's pretty silly. It's got Bruce Campbell in the beginning.

[Amanda Leehan]

The movie is just okay. But I would take a bullet for the Amy, the gorilla.

[Shane]

So the gorilla does sign language.

[Spencer]

It does sign language, but she's got kind of a. Like a translator on, so it will translate her movements into speech.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think I need to watch this. Do you remember there was another gorilla movie?

[Shane]

Mighty Joe Young.

[Amanda Leehan]

Thank you so much for being incredible. Thank you.

[Shane]

There's our YouTube short. Thank you so much. There was only one other gorilla movie in the.

[Amanda Leehan]

There's only. Oh, so many people. I can go, do you remember that movie? And have them both say it at the same time.

[Shane]

It's like guerrilla movies. It's like you have King Kong. You have the Peter Jackson King Kong. You have Mighty Joe Young.

[Amanda Leehan]

You have Congo, Charlize Theron and Bill Paxton. Right? Mighty Joe Young.

[Spencer]

Paxton in it. I'm pretty sure it might be a Bill Pullman. Oh, no, I will say, did you guys ever see George of the Jungle?

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, of course.

[Spencer]

Remember, John Cleese is the gorilla?

[Amanda Leehan]

No.

[Spencer]

Well, John Cleese is the gorilla. It's a great movie.

[Shane]

There's the other gorilla movie.

[Spencer]

Yeah. George of the Jungle.

[Shane]

Was we also Greystoke.

[Amanda Leehan]

I know what that is.

[Spencer]

Oh, okay.

[Amanda Leehan]

See, Bill Paxton.

[Spencer]

You're right.

[Shane]

Okay. Mighty Joe Young. Bill Paxton.

[Spencer]

God, that age gap is probably crazy.

[Amanda Leehan]

You think? No, I think they were pretty much the same age.

[Spencer]

Charlize Theron is probably, like, young. She's probably 23. That's my. That's the age gap in Jurassic Park. Alan Grant is like, the actor is probably, like 20 years older than Laura Dern.

[Amanda Leehan]

Okay. Charlize Theron was. And she's 75. And he was born in 1955. R.I.P.

[Shane]

Yeah. Pretty wild.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wow. Okay. Gorilla movies. Incredible.

[Shane]

Been watching a few, but I've definitely fallen off a little bit. And I still have my subscriptions for all my streaming services, though, and I need to. I need to dwindle that down because I'm spending a lot of money I don't want to spend, so I can lose track easily.

[Amanda Leehan]

[Shane]

Okay, Adrian, so we want to talk about movies. Let's get into movies, dude.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, let's get into movies. I will say I had not read letterboxd reviews, and so it was. So what I love about Smoshmouth is it's opening up my world into things that people do constantly. And so I got to go on letterboxd reviews and be like, this is so fun.

[Spencer]

Did you follow me?

[Amanda Leehan]

You're on there.

[Spencer]

I'm on there.

[Amanda Leehan]

How will I find you?

[Shane]

Are you popular on letterboxd? Are you a letterboxd influencer?

[Spencer]

No. That's good to you.

[Amanda Leehan]

How do I find you?

[Spencer]

So here's the thing. Look good, people of Letterboxd. If you're watching, fix your interface, bro. I don't know how to search for shit on there.

[Shane]

I don't either.

[Amanda Leehan]

You have to DO members or HQs.

[Shane]

So. By the way, Letterboxd is an app. It's like a social media app, but it's all about movies and reviewing movies. But it kind of works a little like social media because you can follow people.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

You can see what they're watching.

[Shane]

You can have. There's reviews and then you can kind of review reviews.

[Amanda Leehan]

So I think it's. Leave comments on people's reviews and you're not there. I don't know where you are.

[Spencer]

I don't know where you are. So I really like it because I do like seeing what movies my friends are watching.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's true.

[Spencer]

So that I can kind of be like, oh, like I saw you watched. Blah, blah, blah. Like, what'd you think? Oh, that's usually like a conversation starter.

[Shane]

Yeah. And it also shows what movies are popular and it's not just what's out. It's like if. If there's a re release or if a movie's just kind of trending like. Like the prequels are kind of talk being talked.

[Amanda Leehan]

There is a movie trending right now that all the girlies are watching. There's a movie that got re released in theaters. Pride and Prejudice.

[Spencer]

Did you go?

[Amanda Leehan]

I was just with Morgan from Two Hot Takes and we talked about it for probably 30 minutes. I haven't gone because I just rewatched it streaming. Just because it's my yearly.

[Shane]

I've never seen it.

[Amanda Leehan]

I know the hell.

[Shane]

And I know that's. I know that's a big one because I know. I know people say that that is.

[Amanda Leehan]

Next level to get in your car and you need to go home. Right meow. Because it is so good. You guys like that?

[Shane]

Did you.

[Amanda Leehan]

You did pretty cool millennial shit.

[Shane]

You didn't just. You didn't just.

[Amanda Leehan]

Right now you need to. Right meow. Go home right now. Right now. Listen to me.

[Shane]

You hold up your finger and there's a mustache drawn on it.

[Amanda Leehan]

Right now you need to go home right now.

[Shane]

I must ask you a question.

[Amanda Leehan]

No Pride and Prejudice, okay? It is. It is the best fucking movie ever.

[Shane]

Is it one of your favorite movies of all time?

[Amanda Leehan]

It's one of my favorite movies of all time. I think a lot of women will say this. It is such a classic. Good movie, incredible music.

[Shane]

I literally. It has a. It has a soundtrack. It has a 4.1 on letterbox.

[Amanda Leehan]

Well, I looked up some reviews on letterbox for Pride and Prejudice. Five stars. I'm going to die alone.

[Spencer]

With that attitude.

[Amanda Leehan]

So that's one.

[Spencer]

And then me reviewing any movie, gonna die alone.

[Amanda Leehan]

And then four stars. And if you haven't watched this, you won't get this. No.

[Shane]

Pride and Prejudice.

[Amanda Leehan]

Listen to me. Four stars. My English literary teacher once said that the hand flex shot is one of the greatest shots in cinema history. She was so real for that. Do you know which one I'm talking about?

[Shane]

I don't know that.

[Amanda Leehan]

Okay.

[Shane]

But I know the plot. Pride and prejudice. I know Mr. Darcy.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, Mr. Darcy. It's an. Apparently, it's an improvised scene. He literally. So him and Keira Knightley have this tension going. Yeah. The guy from Succession. Which kills me because it's like, I don't want to picture that. Mr. Darcy. Very sexy. Don't think Succession. Don't even go, there. He is, like, lifting Keira Knightley into the carriage.

[Shane]

Yes.

[Amanda Leehan]

And they're. They're tense. They're very tense or whatever. None of them will admit anything. And he lifts her hand. And then there's just one shot of him walking back and he goes like this with his hand because he touched her hand.

[Shane]

Oh, romance.

[Spencer]

Yeah, this.

[Amanda Leehan]

God, I hate you both. You guys suck ass.

[Spencer]

Yeah, the part in Terminator 2, and he's like, I won't kill anyone. Then he shoots the guard, like, three times.

[Shane]

That's so sad.

[Spencer]

I love Terminator 2. You guys.

[Shane]

The top. The top comment on Pride and Prejudice, it's five stars. And it just says, the hand flex, the hand flex, the hand flex, the hand flex, the hand flex. And that goes on forever.

[Amanda Leehan]

Honestly, Shane, I think that you will literally, literally love it.

[Shane]

Oh, I'm sure I'll love it.

[Amanda Leehan]

You've seen it.

[Spencer]

I. I think I was a little young. I think I saw it kind of Mighty Joe Young. I saw it in, like, high school. I was like, yeah, I'm not really, like, I'm trying to see. I'm trying to see V for Vendetta for, like, the fifth time.

[Shane]

Yeah, bro.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

Natalie Portman with a shaved head is.

[Shane]

Just hot ass movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

It is so good.

[Spencer]

That movie, like, shifted the way I. I thought for, like, week we came out of V for Vendetta. Me and my friends in, like, eighth grade. Or whatever. We were like, bro, no.

[Shane]

What the fuck? That's what I was the most chosen thought that I had watching V for Vendetta. Because this isn't like a huge. This is a spoiler, but not gonna ruin the movie. I'm just like, yeah, if I was on fire, I would just stand and take it, too. Cause that would be so badass if you're just on fire and just like, whatever.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think we should warn viewers that there might be some spoilers in this episode.

[Shane]

So I'm not gonna spoil movies.

[Amanda Leehan]

I'm not gonna spoil Ends or anything.

[Shane]

I'm not gonna spoil V for Vendetta.

[Spencer]

Director's other movie. Atonement.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, stop. Atonement is literally on my list.

[Shane]

I have watched Atonement and I've read the book, and it's amazing. No, no, no, no.

[Amanda Leehan]

Atonement is the top of my list under bad.

[Spencer]

What?

[Amanda Leehan]

I don't care. I don't care. No, don't lift up this table.

[Shane]

You think Atonement is bad. Movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Movie. Here's the thing. As a movie, bad movie, it's gorgeous. Beautiful, excellent actors. As a person watching it, I would rather be buried in the ground than watch it again. I'm so sorry.

[Spencer]

It's pretty devastating.

[Amanda Leehan]

Saddest. And Saoirse Ronan. Incredible. Incredible. She plays a little. She plays a little shit. And I just. It's so upsetting. I think it's because all my. My mom and my sister, we had, like, a date in New York when we were younger, and my mom was like, and we're going to go see Atonement. We were like, ooh, yay.

[Shane]

And you left the theater.

[Amanda Leehan]

Fuck.

[Shane]

It is depressing.

[Spencer]

A movie with, like, a fuck you ending. Like a depressing one. Did you guys ever see Pay it Forward?

[Shane]

Yeah. You were talking about this the other day.

[Amanda Leehan]

The other day. Isn't that okay.

[Shane]

Pay it forward.

[Spencer]

Spoilers. It's Kevin Spacey as the. As the guy with the burnt face. It's. Yeah, I think it's Helen Hunt. And then it's Haley Jo Osmond. Yes, it is the kids and the whole movie. It's like him kind of like. Like, you know, it's him talking, like, paying it forward. It's him kind of like, you know, re establishing growth in the community general. At the end, just gets. Just gets stabbed and dies.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Shane]

It's not a movie that I feel like, oh, you got to see that movie. But it is just like, here. Here's this kid. He's so sweet that he's inspiring. Everyone. And at the end, he's like, yeah, he got stabbed and died this.

[Amanda Leehan]

Poor Haley Joel Osmond. I mean, Sixth Sense. This.

[Spencer]

He was fine in Sixth Sense.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, he was so good. But, like, the trauma.

[Shane]

Until he got. Until he got stabbed at the end.

[Spencer]

Yeah, but I mean, like. But he made it out of Sixth Sense.

[Shane]

Like, okay.

[Spencer]

Like, he made it out unz. Unscathed.

[Shane]

He makes Bruce Willis.

[Spencer]

Bruce Willis. Unfortunately, that.

[Amanda Leehan]

Don't you dare say anything else because that's a spoiler. One of my favorite. What?

[Spencer]

You never heard Jizz in My Pants?

[Amanda Leehan]

What?

[Spencer]

When Bruce Willis was dead at the end of Sixth Sense and I jizzed in my pants.

[Amanda Leehan]

What are you talking about?

[Spencer]

It's the Lonely island song. It was a really pop.

[Amanda Leehan]

It was a really popular island, but I don't remember.

[Spencer]

It was a really popular song.

[Amanda Leehan]

And you did it again.

[Shane]

You said something killed James.

[Amanda Leehan]

You said something worse than me. You did it again. I don't remember that Lonely island song.

[Shane]

But Atonement. Atonement. You hated that so much. You listened to that. Under bad. Because here's my bad movies before I get.

[Spencer]

I didn't know we were supposed to have a list.

[Shane]

No, you're just. Oh, you probably know you're bad.

[Amanda Leehan]

You weren't in the meeting.

[Spencer]

We could just talk about Joe Wright movies the whole time. So we talk about Hannah. Remember that movie?

[Amanda Leehan]

Of course. Hannah without the H at the end. They made a whole show about it.

[Spencer]

I didn't watch it.

[Shane]

Hannah's. Hannah's good.

[Amanda Leehan]

Pretty good. The show's really good.

[Spencer]

The music in the Hannah movie was.

[Amanda Leehan]

And that's Saoirse Ronan.

[Shane]

So I guess he just loves Saoirse movies. Like. So here's the two worst movie experiences I've had in theaters.

[Amanda Leehan]

Tell me.

[Shane]

I do not go to movies if I think they're going to be bad. Honestly, not a fan. I'm not. Not a bad movie person. For theaters.

[Amanda Leehan]

For theaters. For home streaming. Done.

[Spencer]

Until there was, like, a moment because my best friend worked at the movie theater. We were in high school, so we would see everything. And there was a moment, and I think it was seeing G.I. joe in theaters. I was like, hot movie. I was like, anymore? I was like, I no longer need to see.

[Shane]

You're thinking of G.I.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jane, right?

[Spencer]

Which I. I get.

[Shane]

Hey, G.I.

[Spencer]

Jane'S actually based on G.I. joe. G.I. joe was. Guys.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, I know that G.I.

[Shane]

Joes is.

[Amanda Leehan]

I don't think I remember the movie G.I. joe, but keep.

[Spencer]

It was really bad, but that was. I think I saw that movie And I was like wait, I don't have to see like everything in the theater.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

I think that was like a very like an important moment where I was.

[Shane]

I don't have.

[Spencer]

I was like this actually actively wasted my time.

[Amanda Leehan]

Ye. I. I feel that.

[Shane]

Have you walked out of a movie? Did you walk out?

[Spencer]

We walked out of. It wasn't Barnyard but it was like one of those. It was. It was like Hoodwinked or something like that. I think I also walked out of. What was the movie? It was John Heater and Billy Bob Thornton.

[Amanda Leehan]

Monster's Ball.

[Shane]

No, no, like John Heater. John Heater.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wait, who's John? Oh God.

[Spencer]

School for Scoundrels.

[Shane]

School for Scoundrels.

[Spencer]

I think I walked out of School for Scoundrels. Yeah.

[Shane]

I walked out of one movie and it was Cop Out. A Kevin Smith movie. It's Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. That movie was so bad that I truly like my buddy and I were like let's go.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And we had. Luckily we'd gone to a theater where we were able to get in for free.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, I don't watch those type of movies.

[Shane]

I found two reviews. I found two reviews on letterboxd for it and they seem to agree. Someone just said nah and gave it a half a star. And then someone, someone else, someone left a review for Cop out saying it's a slept on bit of trivia that this is actually the longest movie ever made. One and a half stars.

[Spencer]

I think Kevin Smith has come out and been like this is one of the worst movies ever made.

[Shane]

I. I did not realize it was Kevin Smith.

[Amanda Leehan]

Cover alone is the type of movies I cannot.

[Shane]

They just were like we're going to make money.

[Amanda Leehan]

I can't get through those type of movies. I struggle with them.

[Shane]

So I love strong form movies and this just felt like buddy duo. It just felt bad.

[Spencer]

I love a good buddy.

[Amanda Leehan]

Me too. But they've got to be fucking good. Yeah, they've got to be good.

[Shane]

The other. And I'm so glad we're past this era. I worry it's going to come back but I. Do you remember the era when it was like. So we started with Scary Movie and Scary Movie rocked.

[Amanda Leehan]

Love scary.

[Shane]

And all those scary movies. I've only seen the first one.

[Amanda Leehan]

What they get.

[Spencer]

So get dude. Once they bring in like the airplane Naked gun guys like Scary Movie one. Not a fan. Scary Movie two. It's better.

[Amanda Leehan]

So good.

[Spencer]

Scary Movie three.

[Shane]

Holy.

[Amanda Leehan]

Which ones is that the My hand.

[Spencer]

That's two.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's what three What? What?

[Spencer]

Three is where. Where she.

[Amanda Leehan]

Leslie Nielsen.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Spencer]

Three is when they start bringing in Leslie Nielsen.

[Shane]

Okay, I'll watch.

[Amanda Leehan]

Naked Gun was one of my favorite.

[Spencer]

Three is like, the ring. Like, oh.

[Amanda Leehan]

Where it's like, yes. Water all over my floor. Cindy.

[Spencer]

And she's like, beating her up.

[Shane]

It's like one of the two movies Keith has seen. Any quiets? All the time.

[Spencer]

But.

[Shane]

So those. The scary movies were so successful, they started being like, let's just make a ton of these types of date movie. So they started. They made date movie. They made Disaster movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Spencer]

Movie 43.

[Shane]

Epic movie. Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

Movie 43 is an acid trip. My sister loves that movie.

[Shane]

But I. I did have a knockout.

[Amanda Leehan]

The knockout. Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Shane]

I would only want to go see good movies or movies that I knew were good.

[Spencer]

They should make a parody disaster movie. And then once. Just good movies.

[Shane]

Good movie. But I had a group of friends who would want to go see movies all the time, and they always picked the worst movies. And what sucked is they weren't picking it ironically.

[Amanda Leehan]

Gotta leave those friends.

[Shane]

Like, they were like, oh, this looks. They were like, let's go see Epic Movie. It looks so funny.

[Amanda Leehan]

No.

[Shane]

And I was like, really?

[Spencer]

What was the one that. Oh, superhero movie was one with Drake Bell.

[Shane]

Oh, God.

[Amanda Leehan]

Didn't watch that.

[Shane]

But I went and saw Epic Movie, and I don't remember much of it because it's not even a movie. It's just a series of stupid gags and. Yeah, like, baseline jokes. But I found some reviews of it. Someone said this cost 20 million to make half a star. Someone left a review for Epic Movie saying, fuck off. Lastly, someone said, more like funny fucking movie. Four stars.

[Amanda Leehan]

Okay.

[Shane]

Someone liked it, dude. Which is crazy.

[Amanda Leehan]

I. I will say I. After Scary Movie, I was like, I can't, guys. I can't go down this journey of, like, these fake movies. I will say, though, movie 43. My sister's the type of person who re. Watches movies constantly. I do, too. But, like, to the point where it's like.

[Spencer]

It gets to a point.

[Shane]

43 is a series of, like, short.

[Spencer]

Movies with, like, some top.

[Shane]

It was huge actors. It was like Hugh Jackman.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah. And what's his name?

[Spencer]

Kate Winslet, I think.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's got a lot of, like, Anna Faris and when she was married to.

[Shane]

Chris Pratt, a bunch of a list celebrities in this weird collection of short movies. But apparently it's so bad.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's actually really funny and bad at the same time, so it's hard to watch.

[Spencer]

Didn't the Farley Brothers do, like, one of the segments? Like, I think it was different directors per segment.

[Amanda Leehan]

So my mom went to high school with the Farley brothers. She brings it up all the time.

[Spencer]

That's fucking fun.

[Amanda Leehan]

She went to high school, the Farley Brothers, and they always put. So I got really into the Farley brothers growing up.

[Spencer]

Hey. Their first, like, five or six movies.

[Amanda Leehan]

There's something about Mary.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Dumb and Dumber.

[Amanda Leehan]

Dumb and Dumber. Oh, my God.

[Shane]

It's one of my favorites.

[Amanda Leehan]

Have you rewatched or something about Mary?

[Shane]

Yeah, we watched it, and I was like, damn, Okay.

[Amanda Leehan]

I still love that movie.

[Shane]

I love that movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

But when he has Grandma.

[Spencer]

Oh, yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

Ben Stiller, man.

[Shane]

Any comedy you watch from the 90s, you're gonna have a couple moments in the. In the movie where you're like, whoa.

[Amanda Leehan]

Whoa. Which brings me to my next letterbox.

[Spencer]

AKA all of me, myself and Irene, and Stuck on you.

[Amanda Leehan]

And the one that you and me talk about, Drop Dead Gorgeous, which I'm.

[Shane]

Gonna tell you right now, I've not seen it. Still.

[Spencer]

It is so funny.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's so funny. But it doesn't hold up well.

[Shane]

No.

[Amanda Leehan]

I looked up 1 review. 5 stars. When they wheel the former queen around the stage, I always lose it.

[Shane]

I think I looked up the reviews for Drop Dead Gorgeous. Someone said it's so bad for feminism, but it's so funny that I love it.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's actually.

[Spencer]

It's women.

[Amanda Leehan]

Hilarious.

[Spencer]

It's an ensemble cast of the best.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's Kirsten Dunst. It's Brittany Murphy. It's Amy Adams. It's Denise Richards. Denise Richards.

[Spencer]

Kirstie Alley.

[Amanda Leehan]

Kirstie Alley.

[Spencer]

[Amanda Leehan]

He plays.

[Spencer]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

We don't have to talk.

[Spencer]

We don't have to go into it.

[Amanda Leehan]

But the last review that I put in is five stars. Jesus loves winners.

[Spencer]

Jesus loves winners.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's like this slogan in there.

[Spencer]

No, Denise Richards is, like. She plays this super. They're, like, super conservative, like family that kind of, like, runs the town informally. So good.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's. Yeah.

[Spencer]

Oh, Tammy, you're Tammy.

[Amanda Leehan]

Tammy. Oh, my God. Tammy. Well, you just have to watch it.

[Spencer]

You gotta watch it, bro.

[Shane]

All right, I'll add it to the list.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think Shane's gonna watch it and be like, what the hell?

[Spencer]

No, I would be surprised if you didn't find it funny.

[Shane]

Okay, I'll check it out.

[Amanda Leehan]

So bad.

[Shane]

Yeah, there's a few Amanda movies I need to watch. Cause that. It's drop dead gorgeous, but it's also. What's the one with Meryl Streep? The.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, River Wild. No, I wore that T shirt the other day. I literally wore it.

[Shane]

I think it's Jack Nicholson. Meryl Streep. It's like Witches of Eastwick. Is it Witches of Eastwood?

[Spencer]

I think that's.

[Shane]

No, I thought. I thought it was a. It's like.

[Spencer]

It's not. Death becomes hers.

[Shane]

Death becomes her.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, Jack Nicholson's not in that.

[Spencer]

It's Bruce Willie.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's Bruce Willis.

[Shane]

Okay. Death becomes hers.

[Spencer]

Death becomes her. I didn't see it till a couple, like, probably a couple months ago. It's incredible. It's Robert Zemeckis, like, firing on all cylinders.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda Leehan]

And they're doing a musical. I think the musical's happening in Chicago and maybe New York.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Amanda Leehan]

But Meryl Streep, what? Like, she's a dramatic actor, but she's.

[Spencer]

So good at comedy. Dude, her and Goldie Hawn are, like, eating in that movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, my God. Goldie Hawn is incredible.

[Spencer]

She's.

[Shane]

She's really funny.

[Amanda Leehan]

And Witches of Eastwood is Michelle Pfeiffer, Meryl Streep and cherry and Jack Nicholson.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Spencer]

Yeah, that would be.

This episode is brought to you by Get Contact. Shane, have you been getting those spam told text messages?

[Shane]

So many. Each one is like, okay, this is for real this time. You need to pay this. And I'm like, I know you're a scam. Your tell is so obvious. But I'm not getting them anymore because I got get Contact, which is an app that screens and helps block scam and spam messages, calls, texts. It's incredible.

We need that. Everybody needs that. Because I'm constantly getting texts while I'm on set, which is really annoying. And then you always think I'm ignoring you on my phone, but I'm really not.

[Shane]

Yeah, but it seems like you are.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, but Get Contact also blocks all texts, so I never even see them. They don't even exist.

[Shane]

Today back to what's important. The show. You. Me.

[Amanda Leehan]

I will say I put in one of my favorite 90s movies, what lies Beneath.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I was scarred by the trailer for that. I have seen the movie. I think that's Robert Zemeckis, too. No, that's.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think you might be right. It's Michelle Pfeiffer.

[Shane]

I had the ending of that spoiled because my mom was watching it one day.

[Amanda Leehan]

No.

[Shane]

And I walked out as the ending was happening, but the ending made me go like, this is sick. I should watch this movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's Robert Zemeckis.

[Shane]

Wow. You clocked it.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's Robert Zemeckis. And one of the reviews is 3 stars. I bet wine moms went crazy over this back in 2000.

[Shane]

My mom fucking loved that movie.

[Spencer]

Are you a wine drinker?

[Shane]

You're a wine. Yeah, you are.

[Spencer]

Future wine mom shirt that says, like, future?

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, Yeah, I was a wine mom, like, 22.

[Spencer]

What movie are you gonna show your kid first?

[Shane]

Oh, wow.

[Amanda Leehan]

Definitely not what Lies Beneath. A little spooky.

[Spencer]

Are you. Are you putting, like, the headphones on your belly and just, like, playing stuff for me?

[Amanda Leehan]

I haven't yet, but I should. G will play hardcore techno, though.

[Shane]

This is Pride and Prejudice.

[Amanda Leehan]

I don't know what first movie.

[Spencer]

This one's Pride and Bridge.

[Amanda Leehan]

They wouldn't understand Pride and Prejudice yet.

[Spencer]

Yeah, not until they Wouldn't get it.

[Shane]

Maybe Double jeopardy, pride and pregnant. Am I right?

[Spencer]

Junior?

[Amanda Leehan]

Get out of here. Get out of here right now. Oh yeah, we could play Junior, which no one talks about that movie cuz.

[Spencer]

No one talks about. Junior is pregnant. They got him. They got him.

[Shane]

Boy.

[Spencer]

Pregnant. I forgot that's the first mpreg movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

I. Yeah, yeah.

[Shane]

I forget that that movie exists. And I truly have moments where I'm like, it was that a Berenstain bears thing? Where I thought that movie existed and it didn't.

[Spencer]

So I thought that that and twins were like the same movie. Danny DeVito, because I've never seen either. And to me they're just like that. Never seen twins that in like Kindergarten Cop, like as a kid, like they were all kind of the same.

[Shane]

That's all just movie. Arnold Schwarzwartz, Jingle all the Way.

[Spencer]

Jingle all the Way was the one that I did see as a kid. That and Jungle the Jungle.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jungle. Jungle. Tim Allen. Yeah, he did so many movies. Jungle, the Jungle the mom fish sticks. Do you remember that?

[Spencer]

So I don't remember Jungle to Jungle.

[Amanda Leehan]

It was me and my sister's like. It's one of those that I've seen a hundred times.

[Spencer]

Have you ever seen Galaxy Quest?

[Amanda Leehan]

Of course.

[Shane]

That movie's. That movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Galaxy Quest. Severus Snape, actor. Galaxy Quest is so good. And Sigourney Weaver's in that.

[Spencer]

Dude, she's so hot in that movie.

[Shane]

She is. Actually. It's.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's.

[Shane]

It's insane.

[Amanda Leehan]

Calm down.

[Shane]

It's insane. It's fully. It's fully insane.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jesus Christ, you guys.

[Shane]

Okay, relax. I. I was loving these letterboxes.

[Spencer]

Sam Rockwell in that movie.

[Shane]

Guy super good.

[Amanda Leehan]

Him and White Lotus.

[Spencer]

That was crazy.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yum.

[Shane]

Well, okay, stop.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yum, yum, yum.

[Shane]

You're gonna. You're gonna shame us for Sigourney Weaver.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, I wasn't gonna shame you. It's all good. It's fine.

[Shane]

Anyways, I was looking up on letterboxd. Just a bunch of reviews for my favorite movies and just random movies.

[Spencer]

Have we. Could we look at the ones for the smosh movies?

[Shane]

I. I did.

[Amanda Leehan]

Okay, but I want to hear your faves.

[Shane]

We'll get to the smosh. We'll get to smosh the movie soon. So my faves are a few of them. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Someone left a review. He really rated the fuck out of those arcs.

[Spencer]

Four stars, four stars.

[Shane]

Four stars. I was like, come on, give it five.

[Spencer]

Come on.

[Shane]

Some guy named Joe gave it five stars. That French dude Totally eats a fly. Like it just crawls right into his mouth and he acts like nothing happened. So hardcore than Temple of Doom.

[Spencer]

So there is actually a story to that because.

[Shane]

Okay. For anyone who's seen Raiders Lost Ark, there's a part where an actor, the main villain, they're outside and a fly just lands on his mouth and just crawls into his mouth.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yes.

[Spencer]

So it's, it's, it's not real. They, they cut. Well, it crawls on his mouth and then it flew away. But they cut it out of the fly flying away so that it looks like it goes into his mouth to make him creepier. To make him. Well, cuz like that at that point he's been fully corrupted, like by the power of the Ark is like kind of like what? Like the explanation that was given. I was like, that's cool.

[Amanda Leehan]

I love trivia like that. That's. That's so cool.

[Spencer]

I love that movie. I'm a big indie head.

[Shane]

Yeah, you and I are big. We're both big indie heads.

[Amanda Leehan]

I'm a big indie head.

[Shane]

Like, it's like Star wars versus Indiana Jones. We're taking Indiana Jones every time.

[Amanda Leehan]

I will say I never went down the Indiana Jones path really that much at all. But Star wars obsessed.

[Shane]

You're obsessed with Star Wars.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah. My grandmother had all the vhs, so we watched all of them.

[Shane]

I want to talk about.

[Amanda Leehan]

But I didn't know the fucking place where.

[Shane]

Wasn't it Tatooine?

[Amanda Leehan]

I was like, where the fuck? What's Tatooine?

[Shane]

Chance and I had a great riff on gentrified tattooing. Chance was like, they have a Shake Shack there.

[Spencer]

They have a Shake Shack.

[Amanda Leehan]

Little details that I don't remember.

[Shane]

So funny. We'll talk about Star wars in a second because that's. Is there. Is there a more heated debate amongst the movie genre than Star wars movies?

[Amanda Leehan]

What about Hayden Christensen?

[Shane]

I feel like if you talk about Star wars movies, that's the most heated debate. Movie discussion.

[Amanda Leehan]

Absolutely. Absolutely. I think it's because of the Star wars world. I mean, that's still happening currently. Like, absolutely. I think people get really upset about, like, which one's their favorite, which ones? I think there's this. There's a large group of people who think there's one or two movies that are like really bad that they didn't enjoy that. Because, like, you think about it, you're like picturing the story and when they cast it, that's the hardest part.

[Shane]

Totally.

[Amanda Leehan]

Casting can make people really upset, which I get.

[Shane]

It's It's.

[Spencer]

I think, to me, Star wars just means so many different things to so many different people. So you're never gonna. You're always gonna piss people off.

[Amanda Leehan]

You're never gonna make everyone.

[Spencer]

But when it hits.

[Shane]

When it hits, it hits.

[Amanda Leehan]

It hits.

[Shane]

We'll get to. We'll get back to that in a second. Some others I have Before Sunrise. The before trilogy is one of my favorites.

[Amanda Leehan]

I've never seen them, and it's one of those things where I'm like, I have to. You haven't?

[Spencer]

No.

[Amanda Leehan]

But don't you feel like I gotta. Right?

[Shane]

They're so good. Ethan Hahn. So Richard Linklater is the director, and he does a lot of experimental, very, like, subtle things. Boyhood.

[Amanda Leehan]

Boyhood.

[Shane]

But Before. The before trilogy is his best work, I think. And now he does have School of Rock, which is badass.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wait, I thought Mike White did School of Rock.

[Spencer]

He wrote it.

[Shane]

He wrote it, but Richard Linklater directed it, which is very funny when you watch all of his other stuff.

[Amanda Leehan]

He does like.

[Spencer]

He did like.

[Shane]

But what's.

[Amanda Leehan]

Did he do the animated one with Keanu Reeves?

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

Sausage party.

[Shane]

Sausage party. Anyways, before, the premise of Before Sunrise is these two people are in Europe and they meet on a train. They get stuck overnight at this place. So the whole.

[Spencer]

There's only one bed.

[Shane]

The whole movie takes place over the course of one night, just one night. And then the second movie takes place. It was filmed nine years later. It takes place nine years later. And once again, you just see them for literally two hours. And the movie takes place over the course. It's just two hours of them talking. And the next movie is nine years after that. And it's once again, these same two people nine years later, talking for just two hours. So every movie is just very slice of life, but you're seeing different parts of their life.

[Amanda Leehan]

Whoa.

[Shane]

And it's really, really well done. But I found two comments. Someone said, I don't think I've had a real conversation before. Five star. Someone else. Someone else said, this is how some of y' all think you talk. Four and a half stars.

[Amanda Leehan]

That is so true.

[Shane]

The dialogue is so good, and it's so, like, subtle and, like, everyone's just, like, so in it.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's how you.

[Shane]

It's very poetic and it's very romantic. And then I put Forrest Gump as another one of my favorites. That's a very cheesy Robert Zemeckis. Robert Zemeckis.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wait, really?

[Spencer]

I think so.

[Shane]

Maybe Maybe a huge lie.

[Amanda Leehan]

He won an Oscar for that. Tom Hanks.

[Shane]

I love it. I loved it as a kid because it's such. Such a, like folk tale type movie. Yeah, it's very unrealistic. It's very silly. But someone. Someone said. I don't think this movie is as confused as people claim. The message is pretty simple. Jenny hates her country, protests it, and is punished for it. Lt. Dan believes in it and is willing to die for his country. And his country doesn't care at all. You've got to be a stupid idiot who never questions anything, who falls in line working for the system, and only then will you be rewarded. But what about Bubba? You might ask Edit and be white. And I was like, okay, fair criticism.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's a wild.

[Shane]

Someone else said, Tom Hanks got to have one of the top five foreheads in Hollywood. Five stars.

[Spencer]

He's.

[Amanda Leehan]

I mean, that's a very cool.

[Shane]

There was a lot of. There was a lot of criticism of the movie that. About it being just propaganda. And I was like, okay, fair. I'm not gonna. For me, that movie was never. I was always.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think I was too young to think about it.

[Shane]

I think I was too young.

[Spencer]

I think it not to get too. I think it does so much that it never feels like a celebration of America in a way where it presents it as like. Cause I mean, it shows the Vietnam War, like how much it ruined that whole generation while also showing like, hey, if you like, stood up against it, it also ruined you. But I mean, I guess that's where it's like, hey, if you fall in line, you. But I mean, I guess it's like, if that's the message you take away.

[Shane]

I don't know if I would.

[Spencer]

Sure. Like, that's not the message I took away.

[Shane]

I don't think I did either. It was interesting. Interesting.

[Spencer]

I just thought he was really good at ping pong.

[Shane]

He was just really. That's the thing. If you're really good at ping pong, you're gonna get through life.

[Spencer]

To me, it was like. I hate to say it, but it's like. It's just kind of showing American history through like a certain person's eyes. N A. Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

Come on, come on, come on.

[Shane]

And then I wrote Dumb and Dumber back to Fairleigh, so. Cause that's like my family. That's like my family's comedy movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

We quote that ours was Ace Ventura.

[Amanda Leehan]

Ours was Ace Ventura. Mine too.

[Shane]

But tons of bad or tons of great reviews and it was just people quoting it Right. And there was one bad review that I saw, and it was just. I look around at all the four and five star reviews and I feel I'm on a different planet.

[Amanda Leehan]

You are on a different planet.

[Shane]

This is the thing, though, I want to bring this up. When it comes to comedies, I feel like if you watch it in the right time and place, it's going to be your favorite comedy.

[Amanda Leehan]

You cannot. You cannot show someone a classic. Like, if, like, I'm a little bit worried that you're going to watch Drop Dead Gorgeous, it's fine.

[Spencer]

I think you'll be fine.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think you'll be fine. But, like, you cannot show someone a classic years later. It has to be like, you gotta.

[Shane]

Be the right time, place.

[Spencer]

I remember even showing a friend Dumb and dumber in college. I was like, oh, like, I see. It was way, like, broader than I remember, I guess, in a way where I was like, oh, like, they. They really are like. I mean, there's scenery's, like, pooping for, like, you know, it's just like, sure, yeah, great scene like this. Yeah. I mean, yeah, like, I love that movie, but it's like, I see how if you're watching it for the first.

[Amanda Leehan]

Time, it's nostalgic for us to. To rewatch it, you know, like, also, that was Jim Carrey in his prime. That's when he did so many movies like that.

[Spencer]

The Mask in Ace Ventura. Within like a year.

[Amanda Leehan]

I will say I rewatched the Mask. It still.

[Shane]

Oh, the Mask holds up.

[Amanda Leehan]

It is so good.

[Shane]

That movie's incredible.

[Spencer]

I rewatched the Mask and I was thinking it. I feel like it could have gone. To me, it was the weakest of, like, those three to me.

[Shane]

Interesting.

[Spencer]

But, like, it's still. I also. I also recently. Recently I recently webbed a comic. I recently read the comic.

[Shane]

Well, the comic is, like, viciously violent.

[Spencer]

And I think that's kind of what, like, it felt really toned down. Toned down for the.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's because they probably wanted, like, kids to be able to watch it.

[Spencer]

Oh, absolutely. And as a kid, I love the Mask.

[Shane]

It's a wild choice to turn that comic into a kid's movie because the comic is, like, very adult, wild.

[Amanda Leehan]

There is one Jim Carrey movie that still haunts me to this day that I don't need to ever realize.

[Shane]

The majestic.

[Spencer]

I was gonna say man on the Moon.

[Amanda Leehan]

Larry the Cable Guy.

[Shane]

What?

[Spencer]

My parents wouldn't let me see that one.

[Amanda Leehan]

It. I don't know what it does.

[Shane]

You mean the Cable Man. You said Larry The Cable Guy.

[Amanda Leehan]

Not Larry the Cable Guy.

[Spencer]

You just mean the Cable Guy.

[Shane]

You mean the Cable Guy with Matt Burr?

[Amanda Leehan]

Because, wait, isn't his name Larry the Cable Guy?

[Spencer]

No, no, you're thinking of.

[Amanda Leehan]

What the hell?

[Shane]

You're thinking of Blue collar comedy. You're thinking of Mater from Cars.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, I hate when my brain crosses over and makes it real.

[Spencer]

It crossed over so much that I didn't. I didn't clock it.

[Shane]

I'm sitting here like Larry the Cable Guy.

[Amanda Leehan]

My brain does that and I can't stand it.

[Shane]

That movie is really the Cable Guy. That movie's really good. It's also got Jack Black in it.

[Spencer]

Whoa. Did Ben Stiller direct that?

[Amanda Leehan]

I don't know, but he's an excellent director.

[Shane]

He did direct it.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, my God. I've been calling it Larry the Cable Guy a lot.

[Spencer]

There's a part succession, severance and the.

[Shane]

Cable Guy and the Cable Guy. It is Pen Stiller, but I laugh really hard when they're at medieval times. That.

[Spencer]

That scene I've never seen.

[Shane]

Funny.

[Amanda Leehan]

Well, I won't watch it with you because I never want to see it again.

[Shane]

Speaking of bugs, there's an incredible shot where he's on the phone with Matthew Broderick. And the whole premise of it is that he's a cable guy who comes over to Matthew Broderick's to fix his cable and then becomes obsessed with Matthew Broderick and wants to be his friend.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Shane]

So bad that he's like.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's like Single White Female.

[Shane]

But it is actually terrifying. It's a scary, scary comedy. Very similar to Severance.

[Amanda Leehan]

Very scary.

[Shane]

But there's a part where Jim Carrey's on the phone with him and he's just, like, talking in his, like, crazy Jim Carrey way. And a real spider crawls across Jim Carrey's face. And it's so good. It was fake and it was not.

[Amanda Leehan]

Was it real?

[Spencer]

Yeah, it was. The arc had corrupted him.

[Shane]

Unless I'm making that up in my head, but I'm pretty sure that's a scene.

[Spencer]

No, that sounds like a. There was so. There was that movie of Jim Carrey that I wasn't allowed to watch and then I wasn't allowed to watch, so I married an axe murderer.

[Shane]

Oh, that movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wrong Mike Myers.

[Spencer]

But I. But I was watching, like, every other Mike Myers. I was like. I was like, oh, well, I love Wayne's World. I love Shrek and Austin Powers.

[Amanda Leehan]

Bit of a scary movie, I guess. So I married an axe murderer, I guess.

[Spencer]

And that was Kind of the movie. My parents were like, oh, we're not gonna get that one.

[Shane]

It's another one where I wonder if I rewatched it now, if it would be as good. But it's like, it's so near and dear to my heart. And that's another one that my family loves. Like, we quote it.

[Amanda Leehan]

What's that amazing actor? She's British. She's in so much. I think her name's Fiona. She was in, like, the Most recent True Detective. She was in Killing Eve. She was you.

[Shane]

We've already marked this bingo spot of you being like, who's that actor?

[Amanda Leehan]

Damn it. She has a role. And so I married your ex murderer. And it made me and my sisters cry.

[Spencer]

She's in Killing Zoe. Or Zoe.

[Amanda Leehan]

Killing Eve. Killing Eve. Oh, killing Fiona Shaw. Fiona Shaw. This woman. She's in. So I married an axe murderer.

[Shane]

Oh, and. Oh, you're saying about the Mrs. Dudley.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, and she's all.

[Shane]

Or Mrs. Dursley.

[Amanda Leehan]

Super flirty. And I still.

[Shane]

She's a great actor.

[Spencer]

Mrs. Dursley from Harry Potter.

[Shane]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's her.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's her.

[Shane]

Yeah. She's an incredible actress, but she's in.

[Amanda Leehan]

So I Married Axe Murderer. And it is the.

[Shane]

I didn't realize she was in that.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Moving on. What do you guys think? I think there's a. There's a movie opinion that I think is. There's a clear answer. What is the greatest movie trilogy ever made? It's. It's obvious. There's one. There's one answer. Yeah, it's Lord of the Rings.

[Amanda Leehan]

Return of the King is best.

[Shane]

Do you have a different opinion? Do you think there's a trilogy that's better than Lord of the Rings?

[Amanda Leehan]

It's not the Matrix, because. The Matrix.

[Shane]

No.

[Amanda Leehan]

Fourth one.

[Shane]

No. Well, the Matrix. The third Matrix movie sucks.

[Spencer]

Third Matrix movie is not as good as I want.

[Amanda Leehan]

Then the newest one is for the fourth one.

[Shane]

We can just take things in trilogies. Right. So if someone wants to argue that the original Star wars trilogy is the best trilogy that can exist on stars.

[Spencer]

I mean, my favorite is probably the Indiana Jones original trilogy.

[Shane]

I love. I love them. I think Temple of Doom is a little weak at times.

[Spencer]

Temple of Doom's actually my favorite.

[Shane]

I know people say that I respect.

[Spencer]

Is the Dark Souls, two of the Indiana Jones films.

[Shane]

That's a very good comparison.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wow.

[Shane]

Amanda would agree.

[Spencer]

When did you last watch it?

[Amanda Leehan]

I didn't really watch Indiana Jones. Like, I didn't grow up on Indiana Jones.

[Spencer]

I was I was sorry.

[Shane]

We watch those all the time.

[Amanda Leehan]

But I love the ride at Disney. It makes me laugh.

[Spencer]

So it's a fun ride.

[Shane]

It's a fun ride.

[Spencer]

And, you know, most of the. The music in that ride is from Temple of Doom.

[Amanda Leehan]

What?

[Shane]

Yeah, it's very inspiring.

[Amanda Leehan]

Of Doom is the one where the ball.

[Spencer]

Like, that's Raiders Lost art.

[Shane]

That's right. Lost Ark.

[Amanda Leehan]

Totally got it.

[Shane]

Raiders Lost Ark is the best. It is a through and through perfect movie.

[Spencer]

Last Crusade, if you rewatch it, it's very silly.

[Shane]

It's a lot more silly than I thought.

[Spencer]

Very slapsticky.

[Shane]

Temple Doom and Last Crusader.

[Amanda Leehan]

But you still don't think that that's a better trilogy than Lord of the Rings.

[Spencer]

Lord of the Rings is the best trilogy.

[Shane]

It's the best trilogy ever made.

[Amanda Leehan]

It is the best.

[Shane]

It's argued. I would argue that that was the peak of, like, movie spectacle and the way the industry has gone since then, we're just not gonna get a movie of that caliber ever again.

[Amanda Leehan]

Here's the thing. I know that this is also maybe gonna be like, a hot take or I think the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. It's just Christopher Nolan, who directed the three. I think those are so good.

[Spencer]

They are incredible.

[Amanda Leehan]

Batman Begins. Batman Returns.

[Shane]

It was Batman Begins. Dark Knight. Dark Knight Returns.

[Spencer]

No, Dark Knight Rises.

[Shane]

Dark Knight Rises. Dark Knight Rises is the reason it's. And that's. And that's unfortunate because I think. I think the passing of Heath Ledger, like, shifted the course of that trilogy.

[Spencer]

That was one of the, like, most grumpy I've ever been walking out of a movie was Dark Knight Rises.

[Shane]

I was bummed, too. It's really unfortunate. His directing is good no matter what. Right. Like, it looks.

[Spencer]

The music's great.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's unfortunate.

[Shane]

So much is great.

[Spencer]

Bane's fun.

[Shane]

They're. They're. I think that's why it's a frustrating movie is because it's like, man, so much of it was executed properly. It just.

[Spencer]

All the stuff like Talia.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Even like Catwoman was like, there's no movies.

[Amanda Leehan]

I agree.

[Shane]

There's nothing that pisses me off more when a movie is good in so many ways, but it's just missing the mark a little bit.

[Spencer]

You know, it was when. At the end, when she's like, oh, you should go by, like, your first name, or Robin. I think. I think at that point, had I had a hat.

[Amanda Leehan]

Who played Robin? Again?

[Spencer]

It was Joseph Gordon Levitt.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

I would have. I should. I would. If I had had, like, a hat. I would have taken off, thrown on the floor and stomped on it.

[Amanda Leehan]

A hat.

[Spencer]

Like a very.

[Amanda Leehan]

I would love to see Spencer in the theater with like a coat.

[Shane]

You're wearing your fedora for the whole movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Mmm.

[Shane]

No, I agree with stuff like that cuz it shifted in tone from Batman Begins in Dark Knight so much.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

So I also rewatched Batman Begins. Granted, this is probably five or six years ago. I was like, this is not as good as I remember at the time. I remember seeing that shit in theaters and I was like, this is. I was.

[Shane]

Yeah, no, cuz like, I love Batman.

[Spencer]

But as soon as like Killian Murphy put on the mask for the first time and he's like, oh, like, yeah, like the prisoners don't like this. He's like, oh, like they think the mask is scary and what's that actor's name? Tom Something Hardy. No, he plays like Tom Hardy Falcone or whatever.

[Shane]

Julia Roberts brother.

[Spencer]

No, that's Eric Roberts.

[Shane]

No.

[Spencer]

Yeah, Tom Wilkinson is playing. He's like. He's like. Because he's. He's put. Let me, Let me set the scene. He has been captured by Batman and then turned over to Scarecrow. Thomas Crane. What's his name?

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, I know.

[Spencer]

He's been turned over to Killian Murphy and he's been placed in the. And he's like pleading insanity and he's like, oh, like I'm like scared. Like the walls are closing in. And then like Killian Murphy's like, oh, like I'm gonna do like a little exercise with you. And that's when he puts on the Scarecrow mask for the first time.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

And it's like he, like. He sprays him with like the Scarecrow gas.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

It's like the trippy gas was like, this is so. Because I had come from my Batman movie growing up was Batman and Robin, which I fucking love. Oh, George Clooney.

[Amanda Leehan]

George Clooney. George Clooney is one of the worst movies ever. Is an epic. Batman and Arnold Schwarzenegger is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[Spencer]

Uma Thurman. So sexy.

[Amanda Leehan]

Poison Ivy and Jim Carrey.

[Spencer]

That's the Joker.

[Amanda Leehan]

All right.

[Shane]

Batman begins has a 3.8 on letterbox.

[Amanda Leehan]

I loved Batman.

[Shane]

So not bad. I.

[Spencer]

It's. I still like. I see what you're saying. Memories of it.

[Shane]

I see what you're saying.

[Amanda Leehan]

There's no other trilogies that I can really think of that that does compare to.

[Shane]

Back to the Future trilogy is really good. Well, the Godfather's close, but the third one sucks.

[Amanda Leehan]

Third one sucks. The second one personally is the best one.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

100.

[Spencer]

Guys. I think something that's come around in the years is the original Spider man trilogy.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Spencer]

I think people have re examined Spider Man.

[Shane]

You're saying Spider Man 3.

[Spencer]

Sam Raimi's Spider man films.

[Shane]

No.

[Spencer]

1 and 2 are like bonafide clothes.

[Shane]

Absolutely.

[Spencer]

And 3 is like, good enough to. Where it doesn't ruin, like, rewatch three. And I think you will see it falls more in line with the. The first two than like, you realize.

[Shane]

I get. I get that. But it's still just like has.

[Spencer]

Has time has been kind.

[Shane]

What other trilogies, though? What other trilogies? Because I feel like the third never sticks the landing. And I feel I'm gonna. Maybe I'll get some hate for this. Maybe not. But like original Star wars trilogy. Like the first one, Return of the Jedi's Return of the Jedi. When you watch. If you watch all three of them back to back, Return of the Jedi, just like it's the same.

[Spencer]

It's another one where it goes full slapstick.

[Shane]

Yeah. And it happens a lot.

[Amanda Leehan]

Do you think is. Was that a different director? See, that's the thing.

[Shane]

I think I thought Return of the Jedi was George Lucas again.

[Spencer]

No, it was. I don't know. It was some rando. Because the first one's George Lucas, second one's Irving Kirschner, Aaron Kushner. And then the third one is.

[Shane]

It's crazy how you just have this knowledge, like, you just know.

[Amanda Leehan]

I love it. I love it. I will say when another director comes in, I mean, I know we were talking about the Mission Impossible movies. They're not a trilogy possible. Is the only time the second and the. The third was. That was a totally different director. And they are like drama, like, super.

[Spencer]

Because the first one's Brian De Palma who's like making like a bonafide, like, crazy intense, like, sexual spy thriller.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

And then two is John Woo who's like, I'm gonna. I'm.

[Amanda Leehan]

Exactly.

[Shane]

And that shit rocks.

[Spencer]

And John Way worked.

[Amanda Leehan]

And it worked. And it was so good. Totally different Mission Impossible.

[Spencer]

There are.

[Shane]

There are three movie segments of the Mission Impossible series that could contend for, like, best trilogy. Right. Because, like, you have. Is it five? And then Fallout, and then.

[Spencer]

And then Dead Reckoning Part one.

[Shane]

I mean, those are. Those three are bad.

[Spencer]

If they stick the landing on this eighth one, the. What is it called? Like, Final Reckoning, like, I think it's called.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah. It's where he hangs onto a plane and it's really happening.

[Shane]

It could certainly contend as, like, that's the best run.

[Spencer]

Yeah. If it's not good, something's going to happen to me.

[Amanda Leehan]

I. I think it will be good.

[Spencer]

But, you know, once Christopher McQuarrie took over, because it's. It's. I mean, the. The director line.

[Amanda Leehan]

So good at director names.

[Spencer]

Well, because the third one's J.J. abrams.

[Shane]

Abrams, wow.

[Amanda Leehan]

And J.J. abrams did Star Wars. Star Wars.

[Spencer]

And then the fourth one is Brad Bird, which I would argue is even crazier.

[Amanda Leehan]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

Brad Bird did, like, Iron Giant, Incredibles. It was his first live action movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Which one did he do? He did four, which is. Oh, right before. Is that right before Reckoning?

[Spencer]

No, no, this was. This was the one where.

[Amanda Leehan]

This is after John Woo stopped. John Woo.

[Spencer]

Didn't he do two and three? No, John Woo did two. Three is J.J. abrams. Four is Brad Bird. Five, and on is Christopher McQuarrie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Guys, I will say the best thing you can do, if you're sick or anything, rewatch all the Mission Impossibles in a row. It is excellent.

[Shane]

No, they. They rock.

[Spencer]

That's, like, why, When I saw. Because, like, I recently. I recently twote that I wasn't a fan of. I saw Top Gun Maverick finally, and I was like, this wasn't as good as I want it to be. It was because the Mission Impossible is refreshing my mind that I'm like, these are so complete.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's not as.

[Spencer]

They give you a little of everything, like, true.

[Shane]

But. But. But it was still Top Guns. A different vibe. Top Gun's a totally different.

[Spencer]

It was close enough to the vibe of the new Mission Impossibles, where it was kind of encroaching on that territory. It was like, well, now I just want Ethan Hunt.

[Shane]

I get that.

[Spencer]

And I want his team of. I want the IMF to come in and stop this.

[Shane]

I get that.

[Spencer]

But still Mission Force.

[Shane]

But speaking of different directors, because that's what fucked up the sequels for so many people of Star wars is you have. You have J.J. abrams, then you're in the casting. And I like both those directors, which kind of sucks.

[Amanda Leehan]

People went way too hard on Hayden Christensen about the prequels. I'm talking about the prequels. Yeah, that was all George Lucas.

[Spencer]

George Lucas is all.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, I'm not talking about the directing in that. I'm talking about the casting in that. People. People really harsh on Hayden Christensen, which.

[Spencer]

Is like, okay, but the prequels is what happens when you do prequels. Well, no, it's. To me, it's what happens when you let someone control the entire pipeline of like, no one was telling him. And episode one, two and three. Because I like, it's been such a.

[Shane]

Weird thing though, because when I was a kid, when I was a kid and Star wars prequels came out, my brothers were older than me and like, so all the discourse was just hating them. They were like, these suck.

[Amanda Leehan]

I still went to theaters and watched.

[Shane]

But now, now the way people talk about them online, they're like beloved classics, I think.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think it can't be.

[Spencer]

When you're.

[Amanda Leehan]

I guess we'd like the kids. I think they're like cultural.

[Shane]

Maybe that's more. It is.

[Spencer]

But I mean, one, when I saw it, because I was probably what? It came out 99. So I was eight years old.

[Amanda Leehan]

The prequel.

[Spencer]

Yeah, the first episode one. Yeah. So I was like, this is the best movie I've ever seen. I did this is like. I'm like, this is. Not only is this like old Star wars, like, I'm like, well, not only does he have a lightsaber, he has a lightsaber with two sides. Yeah, the pod race. Like, I was like, this movie is the best movie ever made. And I saw it probably like five or six times. Times in theaters.

[Shane]

No. Eight year old me definitely was loving the Gungan palace and everything.

[Spencer]

Battle for Naboo. Like, the.

[Shane]

Is that. When I thought about that I dreamed about that.

[Amanda Leehan]

Anakin was really. Is that when Anakin.

[Shane]

Jake Lloyd.

[Amanda Leehan]

Little.

[Shane]

When he's a little kid and Natalie Portman's like, Liam Neeson feels like 10 years old. No, it's very trippy. The casting was strange where it's like, all right, we're gonna cast this boy who looks way younger than Natalie Portman, the love interest.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, I know.

[Spencer]

Oh, we were just. Because we were crunching the numbers because she's like. She is like five or six years older than him. And then when they cast Hayden Christensen, he's older than Natalie Portman. So it's just like. Yeah.

[Shane]

And yeah, it's been cool to see Hayden Christensen. The hate that he got back in the day was immense.

[Amanda Leehan]

Well, he came back and then did a scene with Ian McGregor.

[Shane]

Yeah. So he kind of like, people, like, love him now.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, people.

[Shane]

People come back around.

[Amanda Leehan]

So much hate. I was like, okay, he got a.

[Shane]

Stupid amount of hate. Well, that's been the trend with Star wars is the actors get all the hate when they do nothing.

[Amanda Leehan]

They're just like vessels. They're doing the best. I will say the chemistry between him and Natalie Portman was a little. It's a little funny to watch.

[Spencer]

Oh, they're.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's a little.

[Spencer]

They're low key, bad.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's a little awkward. It's pretty awkward. I think that's what it is.

[Spencer]

You're like, John Williams is, like, carrying those movies on his back.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

And like, the whole, like, production, like, the designs of, like, the designs and the prequels are like, some of the best designed, like, so pretty ships. Like, all the sound design is incredible. The music is like, I would say almost just as good as, like, the old ones. And then you have, like, the acting.

[Amanda Leehan]

They're just chemistry.

[Spencer]

And the dialogue, like, it's. It's.

[Shane]

It's just kind of.

[Amanda Leehan]

The chemistry has to be so good.

[Spencer]

For my point of view, the Jedi are evil.

[Shane]

Wow. Dude.

[Spencer]

Wow.

[Shane]

Anakin did nothing wrong.

[Amanda Leehan]

Hot take.

[Spencer]

I mean, that's what Anakin says when they're fighting on Mustafar. He's like. From my. He's like. He's like, like, he's like. I don't remember what Obi Wan says, but Anakin's retort is. Is from my point of view, the Jedi are evil.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wow.

[Spencer]

And it's like, whoa.

[Shane]

It's like, hey, man, but you killed a bunch of younglings.

[Amanda Leehan]

So what's wild is Star wars is, like, still pumping.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Amanda Leehan]

Like, Ryan Gosling is apparently in a new show that's coming out. I mean, I am just. I am just. I am tired. Andor. I think Andor is really good show, but like, like, I'm.

[Shane]

I'm genuinely tired andor kicks so much ass. But I will say, watching it, it's so well done and so well written that it's hard for me to now, like, be like, okay, this takes place in the same universe, I know, as all these really glow up shittos.

[Amanda Leehan]

Glopu fricks.

[Shane]

Diya.

[Spencer]

Luna's good.

[Amanda Leehan]

I mean, he's such a good actor.

[Shane]

That show is amazing.

[Spencer]

He's sexy too.

[Amanda Leehan]

He's so, you know, he's E2 Mama Tamien.

[Spencer]

Yeah, his voice. Oh, yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

Sexy.

[Spencer]

He's.

[Shane]

He is really good.

[Spencer]

Let's think about Diego Luna.

[Shane]

Everybody's sexy.

[Spencer]

Take five for Diego.

[Shane]

Andor is a sexy show.

[Spencer]

I do kind of want to watch season two because I fell off of season one, but when they added back in, like, the only part of Rogue One I liked, which was Krennic. What's. His face? I can't.

[Shane]

No, he rocks.

[Spencer]

He's the Australian guy. He's. Are you watching season two?

[Amanda Leehan]

I'm not watching season two.

[Shane]

He's the main bad guy.

[Spencer]

He's the main bad. He's the main bad guy in Rogue One. What's that, Ben?

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

He's like. You haven't been talking to the cops, have you, mate? He's the.

[Shane]

He's really awesome.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Ben Mendelsohn.

[Shane]

He's.

[Amanda Leehan]

He's also in Dark Knight, and he's the evil guy in. No, he's also plays the evil guy and. Oh, my God, I hate when I.

[Shane]

Do this 60 minutes of.

[Amanda Leehan]

He's with Ren. With. With Kylo Ren.

[Spencer]

No, he's in Rogue One.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yes. Now Kylo Ren's not Kylo Ren. No. Doesn't he. Isn't he the bad guy in. Oh, my God. I'm mixing up the movies. Nevermind.

[Spencer]

He's the bad guy in Rogue One.

[Amanda Leehan]

You're right.

[Spencer]

With. With.

[Amanda Leehan]

With Jyn, not with Kylo Ren.

[Spencer]

Erso, dude.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

Ben Mendelsohn just did a movie on Netflix, and it was the worst movie ever. And I was like, God damn it, you're so good. I'm done with Netflix bringing in these top actors.

[Spencer]

Did you ever see Place down the Pines?

[Amanda Leehan]

Yes.

[Shane]

Ryan Gosling.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's where Ryan Gosling met Eva Mendez.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Spencer]

And he made her stop acting.

[Amanda Leehan]

He didn't make to do anything.

[Shane]

She chose.

[Amanda Leehan]

Don't you dare. Yeah.

[Spencer]

I love her.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wait. Ben Mendelson has the coolest, like, voice.

[Shane]

Yeah, he does.

[Amanda Leehan]

He has a really cool voice. And he did that show Bloodline or whatever it's called, with the original Wicked guy who won the Tony. Leo Norbit or something.

[Spencer]

It's called Leo Norbit. No, that's not right.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's not right.

[Spencer]

He was also in the. He was in the show with Cynthia Erivo, the Outsider.

[Shane]

Wow. There you go.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, my God. Cynthia Riva's in the outside.

[Spencer]

She's. She's. What's her face? The.

[Shane]

Someone's gonna be like, what are you listening to? And people are gonna take out their headphone and go, I don't know. I don't know.

[Amanda Leehan]

Sorry. The Outsider was a really good show. Had great Promise. And then the ended and I was like, fuck off.

[Spencer]

I never watched the show, but I read the book.

[Amanda Leehan]

I watched the show.

[Spencer]

And then now I might watch it because I didn't realize that Cynthia Erivo plays. What is. What is her name? Not Helen? Holly. Yeah. Holly Gibney.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wow.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Anyways, it's all just bouncing up Norbert.

[Amanda Leehan]

Leo Butz. That's his name. That's the original Wicked director.

[Spencer]

My ex was Fiero.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's the original Fiero.

[Spencer]

My ex one's called Don Cheadle. Bill Cheeto.

[Amanda Leehan]

Bad, bad Bill. He is not a Bill Cheeto.

[Spencer]

Bill Cheeto.

[Amanda Leehan]

He is not a Bill.

[Shane]

That's gonna be. Someone needs to make a character named Bill Cheeto.

[Spencer]

I like. It's close. I know who you're talking about.

[Amanda Leehan]

Okay, I'm switching gears completely because I.

[Spencer]

So the gorilla?

[Amanda Leehan]

No, I'm moving on from the gorilla. I was looking up some of my favorites and I looked up what's Eating Gilbert Grape On.

[Shane]

That's one of your favorite movies.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's.

[Shane]

I'm not ask. I'm just. I'm asking. Genuine.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's like one of my favorite, like, classics. Do I watch it all the time? No Keanu in that?

[Shane]

No, it's Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp.

[Amanda Leehan]

Leonardo DiCaprio.

[Spencer]

I know Leo's because I remember I had that trailer in front of a vhs and I was like, there's no way I'm gonna watch that movie.

[Amanda Leehan]

Dude, what's eating Gilbert Grape? Four stars. Oh, my God, I hope they burned that wig Johnny Depp had to wear. Four stars. If Gilbert's mom can stay inside for seven years, I think we can all for a couple weeks. This must have been during COVID Oh, my God. Do you remember?

[Shane]

Yeah, I never seen it.

[Spencer]

Who plays the mom?

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

Probably Kathy Bates or something like that.

[Shane]

No, I have one for. Because it was one of the top movies on letterboxd. Minecraft movie. Haven't seen Chicken Jackie.

[Amanda Leehan]

People are. You know about all the viral content.

[Shane]

People been fucking shit up.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's during the. What you just said, right?

[Shane]

Chicken Jockey. And everyone throws everything.

[Spencer]

Ollie's cheering back there.

[Shane]

Ollie loves going to theaters and fucking shit up.

[Amanda Leehan]

That's Jack Black and what's his name? Aquaman.

[Shane]

Jason Momoa.

[Amanda Leehan]

We should look up Aquaman reviews. Anyways.

[Shane]

Anyways. Minecraft reviews someone one and a half stars. I got to get a real job, man. Someone left five stars and said. The last time I was this horrified by Minecraft content was when Dream did his Face reveal.

[Spencer]

Oof. You see, he's got easy drop a new music.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Spencer]

We got a track.

[Shane]

Someone vidcon Jake said there's a character named General Chungus. Half a star.

[Spencer]

Ollie, can you confirm?

[Amanda Leehan]

I love half a star.

[Spencer]

Did you see it, Ollie?

[Shane]

There's a character named General Chungus. This is gonna be. This gotta be.

[Amanda Leehan]

Trevor's fine. You were fine.

[Shane]

Lastly, someone said someone left a review. Bold move to have both Minecraft YouTubers and a child in the same movie. Three and a half stars.

[Spencer]

General.

[Amanda Leehan]

I will not be watching this.

[Shane]

That's fair. Someone. I pulled up Twilight. Someone said, Robert Pattinson wasn't acting. That's just how he is in real life. Three stars. Someone else said, this is the most unintentionally funny movie of all time. 3 stars.

[Amanda Leehan]

I will say I re. Because Peacock re Released them. I will say I rewatched it and it was very hard. It was very hard to watch. And I was a Twilight fan.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Team Edward.

[Amanda Leehan]

Well, now that you watch it, you're like, none of that.

[Spencer]

Okay. But like, at the time. Which way?

[Amanda Leehan]

At the time, you were.

[Shane]

Jacob.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jacob.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

I think that was Jacob.

[Amanda Leehan]

I was not Edward. Sorry.

[Spencer]

I think that was common. Like, I think that was very common.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jacob was. Now I watch and I'm like, both of them are unhealthy.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

But back then, Jacob was.

[Spencer]

To me, we have, like, the groomer and the gaslighter.

[Amanda Leehan]

The groomer.

[Shane]

I've never thought of Twilight that way.

[Amanda Leehan]

Who's the gaslighter?

[Spencer]

Jacob.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jacob, Right. Of course.

[Spencer]

He says crazy shit to her, dude.

[Amanda Leehan]

He does. And both of them. You watch it now and it's very crazy.

[Shane]

But then in the very. And then in the very final movie, Jacob switches around and becomes the groomer.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

And then. Yeah.

[Spencer]

You either die a gaslighter or live long enough to see yourself become the groomer.

[Amanda Leehan]

Jesus. That's a good review. You need to do more reviews.

[Shane]

Oh, God. That's the review you should leave on letterbox.

[Spencer]

You need to do so when I. When I leave letterbox reviews. This some Shane had talked about briefly yesterday. I do want to inject. Like, not inject. I need to stop saying inject. It's such a potential. It's such a pretentious word. Like, I want to inject a little, like, sentiment. Like, but I do want to include. Because I love a joke. I love, like, to do a bit.

[Amanda Leehan]

But you want to include real.

[Spencer]

I want to include, like, a real. Like, if I have a legitimate criticism of it or, like, legitimate praise. Like, I do want to give a movie its laurels in a sincere way. Because. Because I think a lot of these reviews just like kind of fully. They almost treat the movie as like disposable. Where it's like haha. Like, like.

[Amanda Leehan]

I know, like it's like months and months of shooting. So much money.

[Spencer]

It's like this is like someone dedicated. It's like I'm trying to think of an example from the previous one where it's like, oh, like you know, he rescued the shit out of that arc.

[Shane]

But like there are legitimate reviews in there, but the top ones are always like.

[Spencer]

The top ones are always like jokes. And I think that does kind of maybe not diminish the platform, but it does. It's seen kind of as like a meme platform.

[Shane]

I get that. And there are.

[Spencer]

I use it. I think my primary thing is to use it to catalog what I have been watching.

[Shane]

I for sure.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, you save what you've been watching.

[Shane]

To come back around to something we were talking about earlier. I've smoshed the movie, pulled up.

[Spencer]

Fuck yes.

[Shane]

What do you think?

[Spencer]

It's.

[Shane]

It's. What do you think it's average rating?

[Spencer]

2.4. No. 1.7.

[Shane]

You think 1.7. Amanda?

[Amanda Leehan]

One and a half.

[Shane]

One and a half. 1.5. Yeah, it's at 1.7.

[Amanda Leehan]

What did you say?

[Shane]

I said look, look at the review bar though. It's like a lot of 1 stars. The slope is like the lower.

[Spencer]

So. So how much of the movie have you seen?

[Amanda Leehan]

Zero.

[Spencer]

How much have you seen?

[Shane]

I saw. We went to the premiere.

[Amanda Leehan]

You went to the premiere?

[Spencer]

What was the vibe?

[Shane]

It was 2015 YouTube up in there. It was crazy. Someone left a review, they said, what the hell Was wrong with 12 year old me? One star. Someone left a half star saying my favorite character was the cat. They blew him up. Someone left a one star review and said, I want to force a small Victorian child to watch this movie. What? Someone Left a hat. 5 star review and said, my grandpa died while I was watching this movie and it ruined everybody's year. This movie. Someone. Someone left five stars and said Criterion really needs to keep up with the real masterpieces.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh my God.

[Shane]

Someone left a five star review saying if Stanley Kubrick was still alive, this movie would be his cause of death.

[Amanda Leehan]

Wow. People are. They're not really giving like yeah, I want to know reviews. I want to know reviews about the actual movie.

[Shane]

Someone said one star review. The only time Markiplier and Stone Cold Steve Austin will intersect. Cherish it.

[Spencer]

Fair. I mean, we can cut this. I might want to ask Ian about this. But there's a picture. The last time was at Ian's house. He has a picture of him and Stonewall. Stone Cold Steve. That's not him. And Stonewall Jackson, the Civil War general. No, there's a picture of him in Stone Cold Steve Austin hung up in his place. And I was like, that's like the best picture ever.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, that's very cool.

[Shane]

There's really no legitimate reviews on this.

[Spencer]

So I remember again, we can cut this. I remember it used to be on Netflix. I was like, I'm gonna pop this on. Because I was working at Smosh. I was like, I'm gonna pop this on. Just like, yeah, see? I'm like, there's no way it's that bad. It was. It was worse. It was worse than, like, we have.

[Amanda Leehan]

To watch what's better? That or Ghost, mate.

[Shane]

Ghost is a better.

[Spencer]

Probably way better.

[Shane]

Ghostmates is a better movie. But Smosh. The movies. The movie you want to watch.

[Amanda Leehan]

I just don't know when I'll have the time.

[Spencer]

I'm just so. I'm a mom.

[Amanda Leehan]

I'm gonna be a mom.

[Shane]

Can I see? What makes Smash the movie really funny is the added context that in real life, like, that's the time when Ian and Anthony were both like, I don't know, what if we're struggling with what we want to do with that?

[Spencer]

I thought that was Ghostmates was like. Because that's kind of.

[Shane]

That was. Was. But like, I already know that during Smash the movie, they were already feeling like. Like. Right. Like from the conversations they've had. Maybe I'm wrong.

[Spencer]

So there's. There is a. And I think I brought this up on when. On the lunch time with Smosh. But there was a time we were shooting a Summer games and it was when we were at like Wet and Wild World. What is that place called? Six Flags Wild World. Hurricane Harbor.

[Amanda Leehan]

Hurricane Harbor.

[Spencer]

And they were like, Spencer, you drive them back to the defy office. Cuz they have to get back for like a righty meeting for Ghost mates.

[Amanda Leehan]

They're like, yes, sir.

[Spencer]

And I was like, okay, right away, sir. And. And so it was me.

[Amanda Leehan]

Your hat.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I took my hat.

[Shane]

Your feet like a bunch.

[Spencer]

And so they got into my. My car and. And. And they didn't. I don't think they really knew me very well.

[Shane]

I know you that well at this point.

[Spencer]

And so I was. I was driving them back, like the two. Like the two important guys. And they were Trying to. They were trying to break this scene of, like, this teacher. It was like a scene where they're, like, in school. Like, they have to, like, establish something about the teacher. And they were talking about it for, like, 45 minutes. And, like, this is for ghost mates. And I was listening the whole time, and I was like, do I give a suggestion? Do I give a suggestion? And kind of, like, towards the end, I was like, what if.

[Amanda Leehan]

And I.

[Spencer]

Like, I thought I had come. Like, I had been thinking about it as they were talking about it. I was like, what if the teacher did this to show that he was. This, this and this. It was like, like. And they're like, oh, okay. And then they. And then they just continued on. And I was like, maybe they. Maybe they liked it. Maybe they. Maybe they're gonna take my own. I've never seen it.

[Shane]

You don't know.

[Amanda Leehan]

They just went. Can you lift up the partition, please?

[Spencer]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amanda Leehan]

You're like, I don't have that.

[Spencer]

I was like, I don't. Yeah, this is a. Press the button and I have that. This is a coupe.

[Advertiser]

I.

[Amanda Leehan]

Honestly, if I were you, I would have probably done the same thing. Like, hey, can I. I was like.

[Spencer]

Y' all want me to, like, be quiet for 45 minutes? That's crazy. I mean. And they didn't. They never. They didn't ask me to be quiet for 45.

[Amanda Leehan]

You were.

[Spencer]

But I was. Because I was like, I was. I was.

[Amanda Leehan]

They were chatting.

[Spencer]

Yeah, they were chatting about, like, a legitimate movie they were making.

[Shane]

They were on work hours.

[Spencer]

They were on work hours. And I was like, who the fuck am I? But I was like, you know, my dumb ass was like, I feel like I. I've got an opinion.

[Amanda Leehan]

I think your opinions are great.

[Shane]

They are great. I'm glad that. Hey. They didn't say no.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

They were like, okay. Interesting.

[Amanda Leehan]

I will say I found until dawn the movie.

[Shane]

Oh, the new one.

[Amanda Leehan]

The new one that's coming out in 20. Directed by David. Okay. It already came out.

[Shane]

It's already out.

[Spencer]

Already out. Already saw it.

[Amanda Leehan]

Two and a half stars, yo. Why did they make a time loop movie out of the one horror game where you can't retry or respawn.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Spencer]

Now, I've been thinking about this a lot. I'm like, if any game you were to one to one make into a movie, like, I can think.

[Amanda Leehan]

It's not this one.

[Spencer]

Well, no. Like it. They. They change it a lot.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, that's what. That's what people are saying. They're saying Like. Like two and a half stars. More like until. Yawn.

[Spencer]

That's good.

[Shane]

Solid.

[Amanda Leehan]

Finally, a film that captures the unspeakable horror of tap water.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Spencer]

Is there something in the waters?

[Shane]

Maybe.

[Amanda Leehan]

Spoiler actually pissed me off. Angry face. If you're gonna take the name and a few elements of a game but abandon the story, your version has to be better than the OG but no, until dawn decides to be a repetitive time loop movie where they were the incredibly forgettable characters have to survive the night or else it restarts. Imagine if a Minecraft movie was just about some regular guy named Jeff in the real world working as a construction worker.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Amanda Leehan]

This person.

[Spencer]

Maybe it would be good.

[Shane]

Yeah, it would be good. Maybe I would see it then. Yeah, we're way over 60 minutes.

[Amanda Leehan]

Oh, shit. I didn't know.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I didn't know. I had. I saw the 60. I was like, oh, we got time.

[Amanda Leehan]

I didn't even see the 60.

[Shane]

We do technically have time, but no, we try not to go. But that was. Hey, we talked about movies.

[Spencer]

Hey, we talk. We did it. We talked about movies.

[Amanda Leehan]

Spencer. We lose time.

[Spencer]

You guys.

[Shane]

You guys spend a good amount of.

[Spencer]

Time thinking about every time you waste my time.

[Amanda Leehan]

No, it's. It's a compliment.

[Spencer]

Lose track of time.

[Shane]

Just like an until dawn, apparently.

[Amanda Leehan]

Okay. All right, well, that was so much fun. You know, I love talking about movies.

[Shane]

I hope you guys enjoyed our discussion about movies.

[Amanda Leehan]

And let us know your favorite trilogy.

[Spencer]

Yeah, let us know which is better, Ghost Mates or Smash the Movie.

[Shane]

Which is better, Ghostmates or Smash the Movie? Also, is there a trilogy better than Lord of the Rings? The answer is no. But you can try.

[Amanda Leehan]

You can try.

[Shane]

You will try.

[Spencer]

That's from Return of the King.

[Shane]

That's from Revenge.

[Amanda Leehan]

Yeah, I was gonna say that's not Return of the King.

[Shane]

All right, bye, guys.

[Amanda Leehan]

Bye.
